Feel free to add your own:
'git' is part of your everyday vocabulary
... so is Muggle, Death Eater, and a whole slew of spells...
You have a garden with Potter related flowers and herbs, (Hogwart, Lily, Petunia, Narcissus, Myrtle, etc...)
Someone asks you about what sport you follow and you immediately reply with Quidditch, then proceed to tell them why Krumm is a better seeker than Lynch.
You've written 'Hogwarts: A History'

Oh... this could be fun! You know you're a Potter fan if.... - ...you can't look at your Hewlett Packard printer without thinking of HP.
- ...you take notes about your next fanfic while your mother is telling you about her day.
- ... you have arguments about the color of Rupert Grint's eyes.
- ... people ask you for Emma Watson's address like you know it off the top of your head.
- ... you know exactly where to find it online.
- ... you know what all the furniture in the Malfoys' house looks like, because you've made a collection of catalogue clippings.
- ... you had trouble talking to your friends until they finished the fifth book.
Sadly, those are all biographical.  |

You know you're a Potter fan if... - ... the initials "LV" and "DE" send shivers down your spine.
- ... you dial "62442" on pay-phones and wait patiently to be sucked into the ground.
- ... you think every town with an interesting name should have a Quidditch team.
- ... you think that the CEO of Boeing, a man named Harry Stonecipher, should be an Ancient Runes professor instead.
- ... you see green and silver luggage and immediately think, "Wow, now I know what Slytherins use when they travel!"
- ... you think Lee Jordan would have done a good job commentating on the Olympic Games.

* You spend on hour on nbcolympics.com looking in vain for the TV schedule of when Olympic Quidditch will be broadcast.
* You no longer call it "Scotch Tape", you call it "Spellotape"...
* ...And you wonder why you get odd looks when asking for it in stationery stores...
* ...But afterwards, you find yourself wondering if leftovers from the Sorting Feast get wrapped up on Spellophane...
* ...And if the HP movies were shot on Spelluloid!

You find yourself keeping track of how many time you meet a person with a name from the books or the cast.
*I've met three Black
*2 Lewis
*1 Grint
*2 Potter

And here's a few more from the life experiences o' Lolua. You know you're a Potter-fan if... - ...you wonder what Snape's handwriting looks like.
- ...you spend time trying to design appropriately spiky handwriting for him.
- ...your horoscope reads, "You will meet a tall, dark stranger," and you panic, thinking you're going to encounter a dementor.
- ...your horoscope reads, "You will meet a tall, dark stranger," and you rejoice, believing you will finally meet Sirius Black.

*you design a house for Remus Lupin.
*You see a white owl in the zoo and cry "Hedwig" (only to have your husband give you an exasperated look)
*you draw a griffopotomus and name it Wood.... and imagine riding it about the countryside crushing young men's dreams..... nevermind
*You neglect to clean the room because you assume the house elves will take care of it.
*you are severely angry when they don't.

- You see a white owl in the zoo and cry "Hedwig" (only to have your husband give you an exasperated look)
- you draw a griffopotomus and name it Wood.... and imagine riding it about the countryside crushing young men's dreams..... nevermind
::sings:: Oh, I want a griffopotomus for Christmas, only a griffopotomus will do...- You neglect to clean the room because you assume the house elves will take care of it.
- you are severely angry when they don't.
Forget the house-elf, I just want a magic wand. Scourgify would work a heck of a lot better than our vacuum cleaner... ::sigh:: Here's a few more from the last couple of days. You know you're a Potter-fan if... - ... you cut out and file away articles on griffin symbolism, even if the pictures are really, really bad.
- ... you read about the quirky Knott mansion in Tallahassee, Florida, and you wonder if the family changed its name to distance itself from their Death Eater relatives in Britain.
- ... your mom tells you that you're not allowed to have a puppy, and you struggle not to reply, "But we already have Padfoot..."
- ... "Hedwig" has become a synonym for "owl" in your vocabulary, to the point that you advise a friend who is dressing as Athena to "get a small plush Hedwig" and sew it to her shoulder.

*when someone in another book as a HP name you giggle loudly and try to explain to everyone else why that was funny.
*when an actor in one of the movies is in another movie and has another HP name you giggle loudly and talk about how ironic that is.
*You consider buying Harry's wand out of the Skymall catologue on the airplane.
*you realize that the length might be wrong.
*You vow to check that when you get home so that if you buy it you can be assured it is just like Harry's wand.
*The wand in the catologue is 14 inches and Harry's wand is eleven... you vow to get them for false advertising.

On that note... You know you're a Potter fan if... - ...you think you know which movie and which character MoonCroww is talking about, because you've had the same thought (Alan Rickman's Harry in Love, Actually... hehehehe)
- You consider buying Harry's wand out of the Skymall catologue on the airplane.
- you realize that the length might be wrong.
- You vow to check that when you get home so that if you buy it you can be assured it is just like Harry's wand.

I see the Canon Mistress has taught you well. ;D |

You know you're a Potterfan when...
...you are reading a copy of Jane's All the World's Aircraft, 1944-1945 Edition (who doesn't have one of those lying around the house?), and you start wondering if there's some significance to the fact that "Lily" and "George" were both code-names for fairly obscure Japanese combat aircraft during WW2.
...you shout excitedly whenever driving in a car and you pass a billboard or videostore-window advertisement for the latest HP film out on DVD
...and after realizing that some of the videostore-window displays are stuck on the outside of the windows, you plot with your sister a nighttime commando raid with putty knives and solvent to steal the window stickers.
